CHORIZO & EGG ENCHILADAS WITH A GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Chorizo -- To a large sauce pan, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the chorizo and saute until golden brown breaking up the chorizo as it cooks. Cook until golden brown and remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
• Eggs -- Now in the same pan, remove most of the drippings from the chorizo, but I do keep just a little - 1 teaspoon, just for a little flavor. Then I add in the butter, onions, garlic, red pepper, jalapeno and cook until tender and soft. No need to brown them, you just want them soft. Then add in the eggs, salt, pepper and cook until you get a soft scramble. Remember -- they are going to be baked so don't over cook them. Right at the end, toss in the scallions and mix to combine.
• Tortillas -- I wrap 5 at a time in a damp paper towel and microwave for just 30 seconds until lightly warm which makes them plyable. You can also wrap in foil and use the oven if you prefer.
• Filling -- Add the chorizo into the egg mixture and put a heaping spoon into each tortilla. Take 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and divide among the 10 tortillas. Fold over from one edge, tuck the sides in and finish rolling.
• Casserole -- In a 13x9" pan, spray with Pam or a non stick spray. Add 1 can or approximately 10 oz of the enchilada or chile sauce in the casserole dish and place the rolled enchiladas seam side down. Top with the remaining sauce and cheese.
• Bake -- In a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes covered with foil until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Remember, everything is cooked. I bake mine on the middle shelf.
• Serve -- I love to squeeze fresh lime over the top and then serve family style and let everyone help themselves to the garnishes. Anything goes! This is just a wonderful brunch, lunch or dinner. Recipe #389419, are great with this dish for dinner, but so is rice, salad, or just about anything. Have fun and ENJOY!

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN SAUCE AND LONG-GRAIN RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, add the sliced onion and minced garlic, saute for about 2 minutes. Then add the chicken slices and cook until chicken is a nice golden brown. Turn the heat up a touch and add the bell pepper slices and dried chili flakes. Once chicken is no longer pink remove from the heat and place the mixture into a bowl.
• In a small skillet add 1 cup oil. When oil is warm submerge a tortilla for 10 to 15 seconds or until soft. This will soften them and make rolling a lot easier. Drain on paper towels and repeat this process until all tortillas have been softened. Pour 1 cup of Green Sauce on bottom of the baking dish to cover. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, roll them up. Place seam side down on top of the sauce in the baking dish. Pour the remaining green sauce over them and spread the cheese mix evenly over the top. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve with long-grain rice.
• For the Green Sauce:
• Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until a nice salsa consistency is reached.
• For the Rice: Pour 3 cups of hot water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Rinse the rice well in a bowl under cold water and drain. This will remove surface starch and will be less sticky. Place the rinsed and drained rice into the saucepan, cover and cook until al dente, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add fresh cilantro and lime juice and serve.

FISH ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 13×9 baking pan with cooking spray. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan. Add garlic and saute about two minutes, until slightly golden, then turn the heat to low and stir in cumin. Add the fish and tomato and heat through. Turn off the heat and add the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Mix the green chile sauce and sour cream in a small bowl. Place about two tablespoons of fish mixture in tortillas and roll up, then place in casserole seam side down. (I find the tortillas more pliable and easier to work with if I wrap a stack of them in a damp kitchen towel and microwave them for 45 seconds.) After all the tortillas are filled and rolled, pour the green chile sauce evenly over them and sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and bake for 30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with reserved cilantro and serve. Preferably with margaritas.
